Top Ten RWBY Villains

The Top Ten

1Neopolitan

Neo you don't need to say a word. Your style and the way you owned that fight with Yang says it all. Plus she fights with a parasol. This gal took on badass Yang (who is way taller and physically stronger) and her gun gauntlets using just her parasol and won. Amazing. - NerdBunny

She is a genius. Think about it. She doesn't just dodge Yang's attack, she blocks or counterattacks them with her umbrella. Yet when she hits Yang it hurts but it's not hard enough to trigger Yang's Semblance! Plus she has a cool Semblance.

She is not a character but a tool. She is very overrated and uninteresting. I don't get why she's so popular, she is like the Boba Fett of RWBY... - OfC

2Cinder FallA mysterious woman who possesses fire-based powers and uses a pair of blades that combine to form a bow that she uses to fire arrows.Vol. 2 She also fights with glass and has been noted to have fused Dust into some of her clothing. Cinder is a very cunning and secretive woman, with goals of gaining ...read more.

She brought down an entire kingdom and made the whole world of Remnant fear for war. She killed Amber, she's the reason Penny is dead, is the reason Ozpin is missing and killed Pyrrha within a few episodes. She went from a boring villain from Volume 2 to an evil cold woman in the next volume. Monty would be proud. - RoseRedFlower

3Roman Torchwick

I mean come on. This guy has charisma for days and both his personality, the way he operates, and his motivation in why he does what he does is more interesting than that of the "main villains" such as Cinder and Salem. The best villain is not always the most powerful one. Rather the best villain can be the one the audience strangely enjoys whenever they're on screen, despite what despicable actions they commit.

Roman was amazing. He had charisma, good jokes, and was classic. He seemed to be like that villain that stood in front of the mighty ones (Cinder, Salem, Tyrian, etc.) to keep the young protagonists distracted. Once he was killed, that was a sign that team RWBY has matured and has moved on to the next step of their training. - NoobTuber

Yeah, he's a pawn. But he's had some of the shows best lines.

4Salem

Ok, why is she #3?! Cinder is nothing compared to her. I can obviously she will be a very large threat in Volume 4. She is the narrator. I've known that frisking narrator was evil the whole time. I felt it in my gut. She has so much mystery and it's insane how Cinder is above her. - Peculiar

5Adam Taurus

6Emerald Sustrai

I think she has the best motive in the series: at first she worked with Cinder for food, then out of loyalty and now (just before volume 5) she is doing it out of fear. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT YAYY

7Mercury BlackMercury Black is an antagonist in RWBY. He is an associate of Cinder Fall and partner of Emerald Sustrai.

8Grimm

Grimm are not villains, they are faceless monsters that get killed by the main characters. - OfC
